'...there is a brief moment of time when each of the changing bits (bit 3 through 7) is neither a valid one nor a valid zero...'. Basicly this implies the c64 is a capable quantumn processing unit for if a bit is neither valid 0 or 1 it is also not invalid 0 or 1 and thus in 'superstate'.

That's not how quantum computing works.

Besides, if a bit is neither valid 0 or 1, I don't see why it couldn't be both invalid 0 and invalid 1. (In fact it is.)

Well I'm the Frank Thomas that designed together with Klaus Roreger the ProfessionalDos software/hardware decoder for GCR. So I have thought a bit about decoding GCR streams. Well it's long ago and I forgot most of it. But this piece of code is unbelievable. Although I knew all the illegal-opcodes I never thought about using them in this context. The idea to remove the bvc loops is also veeery clever!!And I can't actually believe that someone in 2013 thinks about improving software written >30 years ago.Great work!!! Big applause!!
